shop around, take your time. I think most Dr's settle into their speciality and the process they are most comfortable with (probably less likely to be best for the patient, and more likely to be best for liability).
My first knee surgery, I remember asking the Dr "What do I do now, how do I keep this from happening again".....he point blank looked at me and said "you are too young for us to do anything" (i.e. you can only have your knee replaced so many times,so limp along until you hit an age where you won't outlive a knee, and we can talk).
I did the MF surgery a decade later and was in a motion machine for 8 weeks, 8 hours a day, they shipped me home with a 6" blood clot in my leg, and gave me the "keep an eye out of DVT" talk while I was still coming out of anastesia...almost died.
Stick in there lots of shitty Dr's out there, don't get fooled by the diploma and white coat.
